It's been really interesting lately with Discovery linked with the ISS. Watching footage of the EVA installations of the new multi-purpose module has been interesting.

I think this channel is a worthwhile use of my tax dollar! :thumbsup:

We don't get this channel. :( I'm such a space nerd that I would totally watch this all the time.

I love following the launch coverages on NASA's internet site.

Whenever I turn it on, it seems to be during the silent time showing wonderful shots of the earth and its cloud formations, but no "action."

I guess I'm luckier with the programming. After I come home from work, there's usually a daily briefing as to the activities on the ISS at 1AM to 1:30AM. I'm not subject to the "silent treatment" as much at that hour.

Yes in-dee-dee! Unbelievable the numbers they call out during re-entry. Mach 23!!!??? :eek:

Did you catch Discovery's total service time in orbit? 365 days over its career!
